On May 30, Beijing Energy International’s 18MW forestry-photovoltaic project located in Zhujie, Changning County, Baoshan City, Yunnan Province successfully achieved full-capacity grid connection. The project combines photovoltaic power generation with forestry, integrating forest land and solar resources to achieve efficient resource utilization and coordinated development of ecological and economic benefits, while supporting local new energy development and economic growth. 

Situated in the mountainous terrain of Zhujie Yi Ethnic Township in Baoshan City, the project has an installed capacity of 18MW and is a typical example of mountain-based photovoltaic development. Surrounded by steep ridges and challenging terrain, the project overcame multiple difficulties during construction, including interrupted transportation during the rainy season and logistical challenges in material delivery and construction. Building materials and photovoltaic modules were transported using drones, human porters and horse caravans. In areas where standing operation was impossible, construction workers secured themselves with safety harnesses while drilling, concreting, and installing components. With the concerted efforts of all personnel involved, the project successfully achieved full-capacity grid connection.

After commissioning, the project is expected to generate an average of 31.6332 MKh of green electricity annually, equivalent to saving approximately 9,130.84 tons of standard coal per year. It will also reduce carbon dioxide emissions by around 24,900 tons and cut soot emissions by about 23.96 tons annually. The project delivers significant economic and social benefits and contributes to building a clean, low-carbon, safe, and efficient modern energy system in Baoshan.
